Oxjam Buskathon

As part of my work experience/freelancing opportunity for Archant, a national publishing body, I was given an assignment to shoot for Archant Norfolk's daily titles, The Evening News and The Eastern Daily Press covering an Oxfam run event.

Known as the Oxjam Buskathon, this event saw 20+ musicians playing acoustically outside of The Forum in Norwich on the 10th of October. In aid of Oxfam and aiming to raise awareness and give aid to those who are and were effected by the fallout effects of climate change across the world.


The acoustic event outside the Forum was a mere taster of what is to come when the Oxjam Norwich Takeover Festival takes place on October 25th in aid of the charity Oxfam.
I am glad that my first assignment was one that I could really get behind and support, with such a worthy and important cause, I was happy to both report on events and enjoy the musical talent on show.

Here are some examples of my photographs:
